1P1-P11 Development of Long Term Usable and Search Recording Devices for Rescue Dogs(Search and Rescue Robot and Mechatronics)

Abstract

The authors aim at recording and visualizing search results which acquired by rescue dogs. We are trying to record the motion, the position, and the image that the dogs are looking. In this paper, we develop long term usable and search recording devices for rescue dogs. We consider equipments to mount on and the attachment position because the weight may prevent the dog's motion. We also archive simple equipment to dogs by sewing the devices to the dog's vest. Devices can be equipped to dogs, only by putting the vest on. In addition, we examine the optimal position of the camera to film disaster sites that rescue dogs are searching. We evaluated the devices by the experiments with using dogs.
